Chasing Hydro 6 Robotic Pool Cleaner
Built for Pools That Beat Lighter Cleaners
Most robotic pool cleaners start to struggle once a pool gets past the average backyard size. The Hydro 6 doesn't. Two drive motors and two axial-flow pumps work together to pull water through the unit at 560 litres a minute, giving it enough force to lift embedded sand, silt and algae from pools as large as 200 square metres, moving across the floor at 15 metres a minute.
One Cycle, Every Surface
Set it to Floor Only for a quick tidy-up, Floor & Walls for a heavier clean, or Auto and let it work through floor, walls and waterline in a single run. The rollers front and back keep scrubbing while the onboard navigation maps the pool as it goes, so the Hydro 6 works out its own path rather than bumping around randomly, meaning fewer missed patches and no wasted passes over the same spot.
A Filter That Doesn't Choke Halfway Through
Underneath the lid sits a 6.7 litre basket split into two filtration stages, a coarser 180 micron layer for leaves and grit, and a finer 1 micron layer that traps the dust and algae particles most basic filters let straight through. Both layers lift out for rinsing, so filtration doesn't degrade as the basket fills.
Run It Without Standing Over It
Bluetooth and WiFi connect the Hydro 6 to the Chasing app, so cycles can be started, stopped or timed for 1, 2 or 3 hours from your phone rather than a control panel by the pool. Once a cycle finishes, the unit drives itself to the pool's edge, so there's no reaching into the water or hauling it up by the cable.
Tested Against What's Actually in Australian Pools
Specs on paper mean little if a cleaner can't handle real pool chemistry. The Hydro 6 is rated for water between 5 and 40 degrees, depths from 0.8 to 5 metres, chlorine up to 4ppm, salt up to 10,000ppm and pH between 7 and 7.8, which covers the overwhelming majority of chlorinated, salt and mineral-treated pools around Brisbane and the southeast Queensland region.
A Cable Length to Match Your Pool
Both the 18m and 25m versions are the identical unit, the only difference is reach. The swivel fitting at the cable's base stops it twisting into knots mid-cycle, a detail that matters more than it sounds once you've dealt with a tangled cord cutting a clean short.
Support That Doesn't End at Checkout
Buy through Pool Wizard and there's a Brisbane-based technician attached to the sale, not just a tracking number. If the filter needs explaining, a setting needs adjusting, or a warranty claim comes up down the track, you're calling a local shop, not an overseas support queue.

FAQs:
Will the Hydro 6 work in my salt pool?
Yes. It's rated to handle salt levels up to 10,000ppm, which sits above what almost all residential salt chlorinators run at.
Should I get the 18m or 25m cable?
Go by cable reach rather than pool size alone, since both units clean identically. If your power point is a fair walk from the pool, or the pool itself is large, the 25m version gives you room to spare.
Does it actually scrub the waterline, or just vacuum the floor?
Auto mode covers all three, floor, walls and waterline, in the one cycle using the same roller brushes throughout.
Can I run it from inside the house?
Yes. It pairs to the Chasing app over Bluetooth and WiFi, so you can start a cycle, check progress, or set a timer without walking out to the pool.
